Are they that close that McGoldrick is sharing the ins and outs of his contract with the man so he can discuss it with punters down his micro pub? It seems a bit odd.

According to their retained list Rodrigues is out of contract and has been offered a new deal, meaning he could sign for us on a free and as he’s over 24 there’d be no compensation due. The suggestions of £150k for him seems off the markhttps://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2023/may/retained-list-2023/ Comrade 86, Carnero, The_Sheriff and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a free I think he is worth giving him a shot if his wage demands aren't silly. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I wouldn’t be that thrilled if we spent what little we have on someone like Langstaff. Seen him play a handful of times and he reminds me so much of Jack Marriott in play style. Completely useless outside the box in most circumstances. Not someone we need, and a little bit of a relic in today’s game. Maybe he could change up his style but he is 26 already. silhillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Gary Lineker was like an abandoned Shopping Trolly outside the penalty box, but inside the box he was always in the right place to score shed loads of goals - don’t know much about Langstaff, but his stats suggest he knows where the onion bag is 🤔🐏 Premier ram and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadAmster Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Fortunately, these days managers know what they want from a player in a certain position. They then source a player who does exactly that and, hopefully, a bit more. No more taking a short arsed fox in the box goal machine and then asking them to be the target man.....

Well you are right it is, but not in the way you mean Even at this level, the majority of teams are now playing with one central striker. And if you are doing that, you cannot afford for that guy to be contributing nothing other than goals. When Lineker was playing, the vast majority of teams were playing 442 and you could accommodate a goal poacher, with someone alongside him to do the other stuff.
